Walk-away Auto Lock?
- Thread starter Caiya

As far as I have been able to figure, that is for the power tailgate. There is a "close" button and a "close & lock" button.
All I found was the rear door walk away lock feature (second button). But if dealer can make it work like my Honda walk away lock did I’d love that.
Do people really walk away from their car without locking it?
Hey @Caiya. I saw that too. I want this feature enabled on my vehicle. I contacted my dealership, and was told a service tech has to do it. When I called the dealer's service center they told me the technology team on the sales side has to do it.
So I am getting the run around now.
I am thinking about looking into those aftermarket products that let you plug into the OBD port and start making changes.

Tesla has this feature and it’s awesome. Just beeps to let you know it’s locked. Mirrors fold in too. More manufacturers can figure this out with the app just like Tesla has. The seats also auto adjust to your profile if you get in drivers seat. The ability to do this is proven and works wells.
So what does that function actually do then? If you close the back hatch without locking the car, will it lock once you are far enough away that it no longer detects the key?
I’ve searched it up too, unfortunately no auto lock when you walk away at the moment .. what I found useful is the remote lock and status with the Lexus app, and unless you are in a very remote area or underground parking lot , you can check status and lock remotely if you forgot .. unfortunately we have to pay for the subscription after 3 years..
I think it allows you to push the button, it delays closing the hatch, gather the things you want to removed from the trunk and walk away. After a preset time it will close the hatch and lock the vehicle. Basically, it allows you to close the hatch if your hands are full after you've picked up all the things in the trunk you want to remove.
What’s the difference between the “Close & Lock” & “Hands Free Close & Lock”? Wouldn’t both technically be hands free? Also, if you activate this setting does the car UNlock when you walk up to it with the key on you?
If my truck had "walk away autolock" I would still have to walk back and make sure it was locked each time. I am therefore actually saving time & effort by not having this feature.
